SECUNDERABAD: The demand for merging civilian areas of Secunderabad Cantonment with GHMC has now reached Rashtrapati Bhavan.
With five days remaining for President Ramnath Kovind’s Hyderabad visit as part of annual Southern Sojourn, Cantonment Vikas Manch, an NGO, has urged him to examine the proposal. The President’s Southern Sojourn will be between December 29 and January 3, 2022.
Recently, members of this NGO sent a letter to Rashtrapati Bhavan officials seeking an appointment with Kovind during his stay at the Rashtrapati Nilayam. “We urged the President to meet our five-member delegation to submit a memorandum regarding merger issue,” S Ravinder Babu, general secretary, Cantonment Vikas Manch, told TOI.
“Keeping in view the aspirations of Cantonment residents, we are demanding SCB merger with GHMC, for good governance, on lines of the civic body. We will explain to the President the necessity for merger with GHMC, he added.
